Wow..very cool. A nice alternative to PE. This is something I will purchase. The clamps and fire extinguishers are right up my alley.

If the clamps are printed in the open position how do you close them to hold the placed tools? Same for the closed position clamps?

They should be available from www.hobbyeasy.com ?

I ordered sets TR35010 and TR35011 from that website just a few days ago.

Sets look good, those two sets seem to be enough to complete a couple of vehicles a piece.

I emailed them just now and had a reply very quickly.
"Hello!
Thank you for your email.
We are looking for distributor in Europe.
But now we just have distributor in Hong Kong."

They are also going to contact my suggestions for a UK importer.

Looks like tool handles will fit into the closed clamps. The open ones can be used in a case where the tools are in use. I like the looks of them.

The clamps are great but I really was impressed by the fire extinguishers and their clamps. Worth looking into.

Interesting, the link provided by Barleeni to HobbyEasy lists the MJ Miniatures set but couldn't find T-Rex.

Hi Frank, the hobbyeasy website has a lot of stuff, but the navigation and search functions arent too great, if you search the part code you should find them i.e. search TR35020 and the goods will come up (or TR35015 for the clamps shown in image at start of this thread). I do know you have to get the code right to its listing on hobbyeasy.... i.e. searching TR-35020 will return nothing, but take the dash out and search TR35020 and it will return the product.


Cheers,
Dave.

Found it! Thanks so much. What detail! Love the empty clamp set the best; shame that you don't get more of them considering the set's size and cost.
